Tinted film over silver laminate, wrapped around silk core. The laminated metal is wrapped tightly around the core giving the thread a lustrous, metallic sheen.

Vintage 1970s inventory.

Excellent condition.

1670 grams,  chained warp.

This is a very unique find. It's a chained warp. I actually counted the threads in the bundle to be 680 strands. I didn't want to unchain it, so I measured it in its current form at roughly 18 yards. The actual length is likely to be at least three times that amount, or 48 yards.

I haven't actually measured each and every skein. These were produced for the industry and contained no labels. However, skeins come in standard sizes - normally 5,000 and 10,000 meters. I've quoted the lower measurement with the assumption that no one will be disappointed if they wind up with more.

As for the thickness of each, I've included a standard straight pin in every shot for your to use as a visual reference. The pin will also help you to gauge the relative size of each skein.

Weight measurements may vary slightly.
